Praise God for blessing the UBF Nigeria Easter Conference with the theme, "It Is Finished." In preparation for the conference, a daily prayer meeting was held for one month at the UBF Lagos center. Five UBF chapters in Nigeria participated in the conference: Lagos chapter 1, Lagos chapter 2, UBF medical school chapter, Yabatech chapter, and the new Unical Chapter. Members from the new University of Calabar chapter traveled about 14 hours by road to participate in the conference. While we were preparing for the conference, the university closed because of a strike. We thought many students would go home because of this. Instead, God answered our prayers, and there were 106 participants. We were spiritually refreshed and joyful to be in the word together and enjoy fellowship.

Four growing leaders were raised as messengers: M*onday, O*lowookere, S*amuel, and J*ohnson. Pastor A*braham delivered the closing message. On the first day, J*oseph, I*srael, and V*ictoria shared their life testimony with a decision of faith to follow Jesus, and we pray that God raises them as Bible teachers. S*andra, B*iodun, and P*riscilla led symposium sessions. We were all deeply moved and convicted by the messages, life testimonies, and symposiums.

Prayer Topics:
1. To raise next generation spiritual leaders in Nigeria
2. For young leaders and freshmen to grow as Bible teachers and disciples for Jesus
3. For security and stability in Nigeria and its education system
4. For the medical school chapter, Yabatech Chapter, and Lagos Chapter I to have their own Bible center
